CentOS is all I've used for years, since around the time of RHEL 3.

But now with recent changes I don't know what I'll use as my default server OS. I do less with full VMs nowadays anyway. Ubuntu is often the base of many images I use in docker space.

I don't use Linux as a dev desktop environment though as I find the Desktop experience just poor. Don't get me wrong, before MacOS came out, I was a diehard Fedora desktop and dev environment user. With blackbox/fluxbox as a window manager. But once MacOS came out and gave me *nix underneath a very nice desktop experience, there was no looking back.

With the recent CentOS changes, I'm also keen to switch from it and move to Ubuntu. MacOS is great for a work computer and do your coding there plus it is really powerfull to do other projects too.
